Hi shippers! Welcome to Bonus Round 2.
Round Robin Fanadventures generated so much awesome stuff last year that we decided to bring it back!

For those who are new to HSO, this is not actually that complicated a concept, but it might be a little tricky to explain, so bear with me. The point of this round is to create a bunch of fanadventures that are for a team other than your own.

Rules

If you are starting a new adventure: start a new thread using the title format defined below. Include either text or 1-2 pieces of embedded art setting a scene (or both!), and finish with a command (==> does not count as a command for new threads). Then sit back and wait for someone else to contribute!
If you are continuing an adventure: find a thread that does not center around your team's ship. Then comment using the title format defined below. Include either text or 1-2 pieces of embedded art continuing the scene (or both!), and finish with a command (this can include ==>, though generally we would prefer otherwise). Then sit back and wait for someone else to contribute!
For ease of reading, we suggest using standardized image sizes. 600x400 landscape is a pretty good size! But as long as it's the same as the other images in the thread, people will have an easier time following along. The HTML for inserting images is <img src="http://yourimageurlhere.com">
For this challenge, there is no minimum wordcount. We are trusting you not to abuse that fact!
You may not comment twice in a row in one adventure. The point is to hand off the scene like a hot potato.
You may not introduce or create for your team's ship into a fanadventure. If someone else introduces your team's ship to a thread, you can still contribute to that thread so long as your contributions do not involve your ship.
This challenge will run until 11:59PM EDT July 7. After that time, even if it's just by a minute according to the LJ timestamp, no submissions will be accepted for points.

NOTES:

Audio posts are fine, so long as you include a transcript.
Please make sure to check that your titles are correct!
You may answer commands that have already been answered. Think of it like a 'choose your own adventure' game!

Title Format
If you are starting a new thread, use this format in your title.

Replace [THEIR SHIP] with the ship you want this particular fanadventure thread to be. Remember that you cannot create a fanadventure based on your own ship. Whatever ship you choose must be represented by a HSO team not your own. The only exception is gen adventures, which are permitted.
Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with. If your team name is not in this format and in the title it may not be counted.

If you are continuing a thread, use this format in your title.

Replace [COMMAND] with whatever command the previous fill has specified.
Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with.
If your title is not in this format it may not be counted.

Posts not using this format in the title will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, no matter what they contain. They, like all comments on the comm, are subject to the Wank Policy.

Scoring
(as stated here)
First 5 entries per team: 30 (per entry)
Entries 6-10: 20 (per entry)
Entries 11-15: 10 (per entry)
Entries 16+: 5 (per entry)

All fanadventure content must be created new for this round.

We would prefer that any questions about this challenge or anything else in the HSO be emailed to us at homestuck.shipping AT gmail!

You clench your phone in your hand. You can not B-ELI-EV-E they hung up on you. Really.

You take your phone and dial in Eridans number. You wait for him to answer.

How dare that guy tell you that this is your fault! Like you even need his kelp anyway...

You complain and grumble until Eridan answers.

> Eridan: Greet the new caller.

You are feeling SLIGHTLY OVERDRAMATIC which is, let's be honest, NOT AN ENTIRELY UNFAMILIAR STATE OF BEING FOR YOU. Vantas has put you in quite THE MOOD, so when you answer the caller, you don't even give them TIME TO TALK, a stratagem that surprises your long time listeners NOT ONE BIT.

ERIDAN: look caller i dont knoww wwho you are but i dont got a lot of time for other peoples glubbin bullshit right now.
ERIDAN: i mean did you just listen to that shit from vvantas
ERIDAN: i dont knoww wwhat hes playin wwith me but it sure as shell aint wwithout a little tinge a some color.
ERIDAN: if you knoww wwhat i mean.
ERIDAN: goin on and on about seredipity.
ERIDAN: so i hope this is important caller cause otherwwise im goin to try an patch together the shipwwreck this showw has become.

>Feferi: Respond in an appropriate manner.

You sigh heavily into your phone, subjecting every listener to a wave of static. This is ------EXACTLY what the problem is! You allow for a brief moment of silence while you collect yourself, ignoring when Eridan (predictably) fills it.

ERIDAN: wwell
ERIDAN: im listenin
FEFERI: -Eridan.
ERIDAN: yes i knoww wwho i am
FEFERI: We need to talk.
ERIDAN: wwhat
ERIDAN: wwait
ERIDAN: is this
FEFERI: Y--ES, it IS 38(
ERIDAN: wwhat do wwe need to talk about?
ERIDAN: should i set up some mood music?
FEFERI: No.
FEFERI: ---ERIDAN. Turn off the smooth jazz. NOW!
ERIDAN: but
FEFERI: T)(is is S-EARIOUS, -Eridan.
ERIDAN: does
ERIDAN: does this havve to be on air?
FEFERI: Whale.
FEFERI: Since you never listen to me, I'm kind of t)(inking t)(at I should make ------EV-ERYON-E listen to me!
FEFERI: )(ow does t)(at sound?
ERIDAN: uh
ERIDAN: wwhale
FEFERI: Oh, you're speec)(less NOW are you?
FEFERI: It's about time! I've been waiting for ----------ENTID-ERLY too long for you to stop complaining about your petty little problems so I could tell you about MY )(UG-E BASS OF A MOIRAIL.
ERIDAN: ...
ERIDAN: ladies and gentlemen please stay tuned for wwhatevver the interns feel like playin

>INTERN(S): Have a field day.

You are now the INTERN(S) and you are having a FIELD DAY.

Glub Glub Glub Glub Glub Glub.

Glub.

=> Eridan: Deal with Feferi off-air.

ERIDAN: fef listen to me we can make this work.
ERIDAN: i mean i can understand if you were thinkin we were headed in a different direction, quadrant wise -
FEFERI: --ERIDAN I AM DON--E WIT)( T)(IS.
FEFERI: You have thr--e--e s--econds.

The next three seconds do not go well.

==>Feferi: Break up with your moirail as gently as you can.

You do. All things considered, you think it goes all right.

And now,

YOU'R---E FR-----E-----! 38)

==>Interns: Abscond.

Absconding is not advisable at this time. This is because it has only been three seconds, and Eridan hasn't yet given the word for you to give up on everything you're doing.

You find it difficult to keep up with being all of the interns and proceed to be a particular single intern, who is filling in on Eridan's answering-the-phone-on-air duties while your humble friend plays his idea of music. You have just hung up on someone really unimportant but now you are having the call of a lifetime. (At least, you're pretty sure that the importance of a call is indicated by the volume of a caller.)

KARKAT: HEY AMPORA.
INTERN: Boss can't come to the phone right now, please leave a message after the glub.
INTERN: Glub.
KARKAT: WHAT NO.
KARKAT: THIS IS IMPORTANT. PUT HIM THROUGH.
INTERN: I'm not sure that's physically possible.
KARKAT: YOU ARE AT A RADIO STATION. THIS IS WHAT YOU *DO*. YOU CAN PROBABLY PUT THE HEAD IDIOT ON THE PHONE IF SOMEONE DEMANDS IT.
KARKAT: WHICH I DO.
INTERN: No actually I think he's too heavy.
KARKAT: WHAT?
INTERN: He's too heavy for me to lift. I can't put him on the phone.
KARKAT: ...
INTERN: Also I think that would break the phone, and it's probably expensive.
KARKAT: THAT WOULD BE A MERCY TO US ALL.
KARKAT: HAND THE PHONE TO SOMEONE WITH BRAIN CELLS, IF YOU CAN FIND ANY SUCH CREATURES IN THAT SHITHOLE OF A STUDIO.

You're pretty sure you have brain cells, but you do what the man says anyway and hand the phone to whoever's nearest, and in the process become that entity.

You are now A DIFFERENT INTERN, and you are now on the air with a stranger!

INTERN: Wow, I don't even know what to say!
KARKAT: SAY IN A LOUD VOICE, "ERIDAN, THE PHONE'S FOR YOU!"
INTERN: ERIDAN THE PHONE'S FOR YOU
INTERN: That was really silly! Do you have any other silly suggestions?
INTERN: I can do voices.
KARKAT: FOR FUCK'S SAKE.
KARKAT: GIVE THE PHONE TO SOMEONE OTHER THAN WHOEVER GAVE THE PHONE TO YOU.

Similar events reoccur several times. Eventually the room runs out of new interns to get shouted at, and none of them are keen to repeat their experiences, having grown tired of his stunts.

But there is someone else in the room then, so the last intern hands it off to him.

ERIDAN: wwhat the fuck do you wwant
KARKAT: OH THANK GOD.
ERIDAN: oh fuckin hell
KARKAT: NO WAIT A SECOND.
ERIDAN: look kar im not goin to play your charade right noww leave me alone
KARKAT: WELL I'M NOT GOING TO. I'M GOING TO CALL YOU EVERY MINUTE FOR THE NEXT SWEEP IF I HAVE TO.
KARKAT: JUST LISTEN TO ME OKAY?
ERIDAN: wwhat do i look like a pair of ears
KARKAT: HEY I'M JUST TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING IMPORTANT, OKAY?
ERIDAN: really
ERIDAN: howw important are wwe talking
KARKAT: OH WELL I DON'T KNOW, I GUESS THAT DEPENDS ON HOW YOU WANT TO TAKE THIS KIND OF NEWS.
KARKAT: DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION NOW?
ERIDAN: fine
ERIDAN: spit it out

KARKAT: Spit it out.
